I had not thought of that but now that I have I don’t think it would work because the backup is sent over the internet directed at the external IP of the managers home router and forwarded to his laptop. I believe the port must be forwarded to an IP as opposed to a hostname.

What I did was just leave it on a static as the manager told it never goes into the office, but now that you have mentioned this I will check his router in case forwarding to a hostname or MAC address is possible. I would rather not have the laptop on a static as it could cause problems if he decides to take it somewhere and plug in a network cable.
